Yesterday some friends and I headed down to the Kettle House. The Kettle house is the sort of place where anyone can go and feel at home, even my four year old. There is such a wide variety of folks that frequent the K-Hole among the usual good-beer-seeking drinking crowd, there are always a couple of young kids, there are folks reading (below). I sampled the Honey Hefeweizen, the Amber, and the Eddy Out Pale Ale. Jessica and Collin both enjoyed the Root Beer, which may be the best I’ve ever tasted. I have to say the the Eddy Out was probably my favorite (it was also my third…). I took a few photos with my BlackBerry, so the quality is lacking.

Everyone in Missoula Must have these shoes.

Recently I broke down and bought a pair of Chocos, and now I can look just like every other Missoulian. I’m surprised at how comfortable they are, I was a bit sceptical at first.

For a while i’ve been following Montana Outdoors a photo blog that is updated nearly everyday with amazing photos. While i was trying to decide weather to buy a point and shoot or a DSLR, i was inspired by the photos in this blog, and decided that some day i too may be able to take photos like this.

I’m a long way from being able to take photos like Montucky, and i’m learning a lot as i go. Some of the photos i find most interesting are his photos showing the movement of water.

I’ve been neglecting this blog for some time and i’ve focused my internet contributions to Flickr. It’s been nearly 2 months since i got my Canon XT and i’ve had a lot of fun learning all of the ins and outs of a DSLR, at this point I’ve taken right around 2,500 photos, of course most of them are crap, but there have been a couple of good ones.

Most of my friends are really good photographers and take really amazing shots, though i aspire to take those kinds of amazing photos, i bought the camera to capture less exciting things. Most of the photos i take are of Collin and Jessica, or documenting trips. I’ve been really surprised at how easy it is to take decent photos.
